Where are the Congressional and Senate "reactions to O'Neill- our leaders?
They usually have their "pie holes" filling the screen every chance they get ....where are they?

Where are they when justice is "on the line"?

Where are they when there is a clear wrong by the president that has cost lives?

Where are they?



This is why we need to overhaul this party and fast -- where are people defending O'Neill.

1. Those cowards are, one and all, hiding because they are

equally culpable. Every single one of those jerks who voted to hand over the constitutional role of the people to that bunch of neo-con traitors, has just as much blood on his/her hands as they do. We need to take the streets--I don't care how cold it is.

This is exactly why Lieberman, Kerry, and Gephardt have no credibility as candidates. They sold the people out for their own political expediency. Gephardt deliberately tried to move the war off of the agenda so as to clear the way for his political campaign. Lieberman has his head so far up *'s tush he's breathing for him. Kerry just sounds like a broken record. It stares us in the face everyday--at least half of the Dem candidates sold the people out and most of the Dem representatives did as well. I am beyond disgusted.

You can't lead when you have lost the moral high ground.

3. right
The good news is.......this story isn't going away.

I agree with your thought about all those who gave away their constitutional duty to declare war to Bush*....they are just as guilty as he is.

8. These jokers have been AWOL this entire administration--
with the exception of a couple of stalwarts like Senator Byrd and Dick Durbin, and they get ridiculed ceaselessly. We have the Chickenhawks on one side and the Chickenpoops on the other. I am just furious!!!

Did I say I'm po'd?

Well, I am!!!

9. Hiding behind their pink tutu's maybe?
They need to stand on the floor of the Senate and the House and condemn what AWOL has done to this country and not stop until he is kicked out of the WH.

dem leadership was complicit in this clusterfuck in iraq. like the repooks, they wanted it for the political expediency it served to make them look tuff on defense.

15. I've become a Dean supporter alright. Nothing under the sun
could get me to caucus for those excuses for Senators we have prancing around the US dressed up as candidates. No matter how much they simper and pose, they sold this country for pottage, and not a one of them is man enough to stand up and say he was wrong or to own his callowness.

16. They didn't listen to
Senator Byrd, just like they didn't listen to Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., when he asked just ONE Senator to come forward to stop bush* from stealing the presidency.

19. A Lifetime Republican
So there is O'Neil, a lifetime Republican, and the only people fired up for his defense are the most zelous Democrats. And you say Bush is not a uniter? Sorry, couldn't help that one .....
